2013 Dart Problems!

Has anybody here had problems with the key fob not working properly. Sometimes it opens the doors, somtimes it doesnt. I'm also have problems with the touch-screen freezing and going black. The settings change by themselves, I set the doors to unlock on one press of the fob. Doesnt always happen. I check the settings and it goes back to driver door unlock on one push of the fob. Today at work, I got a call and said my trunk was open. How did that happen? I'm wasnt physically at the shop when it happened! This is getting strange.

I have not had any trouble with the key fob, but I have had trouble with the touch screen freezing and going black, then rebooting itself. Going to be going to the dealer soonish.. also having some clutch/transmission issues.. first and reverse are acting like they are engaging and then it pops out like it wasnt in at all.. also when driving with clutch fully depressed it wont let me put it into gear, its like there is something in the way..

I've had no issues so far. One time I ran to my car and grabbed the handle and the doors didn't unlock, but I chalked it up to being too quick. I let go, grabbed again and haven't had any issues since.

When I got my dart ... it seems someone changed the settings for the doors so that 1 press on the open door opened all doors... then two weeks ago when I had my dart flashed for the sluggish fuel gauge issue, the setting seems to have gone back to factory spec or what I suspect is factory spec, one press opens drivers door, 2x button press opens all doors.

Though I've also lost the "speed sensitive locks" after that flash too. I'm about to get showered and head into the dealership for them to "fix" these "mistakes".

I'm really *not* a happy dart owner. other than getting 5mpg better than my 2000 neon ... and not having a leaking sunroof, I'm basically in a box with 4 wheels and that "new car owner" feeling died within 1 day of ownership.

I have two issues with the dash in my Dart. The 8.4" uconnect touch screen goes black or reboots. This happened 3 time in the 9000 miles/5 month I have had the car. I figured out that the problem was related to trying to do too much. In both cases the uconnect was trying to connect and I was trying to get the GPS to open up so I could enter an address. I was also in a garage and the Satellite radio was struggling to get a signal. The other problem I encountered was the Tach quit. In all cases the system needed to be rebooted.

This was a surprise was that to get the system to reboot I had to remove the key, open the door to make sure it was powered down and wait for about 2 minutes. When restarted, everything was in order. Once I understood that the system needed a little time to shut down and restart, I leave it be for a couple of minutes after starting the engine for everything to sync up. Since then everything seems ok.

Have you tried leaving that key fob at home and try the other one? That will tell you if the problem is in the car or the key fob. Also, don't carry the key fob in your pocket or tight bag where the buttons might get pushed accidentally (I used to unlock the doors and set the alarm off all the time with my Pacifica remote).

Does anyone know how many codes are on these key fobs? Could someone nearby have the same codes?
